Located in Rutledge Hill – just a few blocks south of Historic Broadway, in the heart of Downtown Nashville—Husk transforms the essence of Southern food. Executive Chef Katie Coss reinterprets the bounty of Tennessee and the surrounding area, exploring an ingredient-driven cuisine that begins in the rediscovery of heirloom products and redefines what it means to cook and eat in the South.

Givan and Dr. Woods longed for someone in Murfreesboro to cure hams the way they did in the old days.
